Re: [Mailman-Users] migrating current list links to mailman

2016-06-14 Thread Beu, Ed (DOA) 
We've removed the redirect and created the jl.htm files where Apache can see 
them and display the HTML message. This works as planned.

Thx, Ed

Thanks very much for the information. Good to know I was on the right track, 
but even with your verification and better code, the redirect still takes me to 
the new /listinfo/listname (subscribe) page rather than the new jl.htm page.

I have put the new jl.htm at /var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/jl.htm

And, the redirection code at /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf
# Uncomment the following line, to redirect queries to /mailman to the 
listinfo page (recommended).
RedirectMatch ^/soalists/(.*)/jl.htm /mailman/listinfo/$1
RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo
RedirectMatch ^[/]*$ /mailman/listinfo

I suspected the last two lines of RedirectMatch were causing the issue, but I 
get the same result if I remark them out.

Thanks again!
~Ed

There are various ways to do this depending on what you want the user to
see.

If I understand the URL scheme above something in Apache like

RedirectMatch ^/lists/(.*)/jl.htm  /mailman/listinfo/$1

would serve to redirect http:/list.domain/lists/listname/jl.htm to
http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname for any 'listname', but if
you actually want to display something to the user, you could create a
replacement lists/listname/jl.htm containing something like

--




List listname - page has moved




Page Moved

The page for the listname list has moved.
The new location is

http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname.
You will go there automatically in 5 seconds.




--

This will display the page and go to the new page after 5 seconds. You
would need one of these per list. If you want to change the delay,
change '5' to whatever you want in the

 content="5;

line and the

You will go there automatically in 5 seconds.

line. If you want the user to have to click, remove the



lines and the "You will go there automatically" line.

[Mailman-Users] migrating current list links to mailman

2016-06-14 Thread Beu, Ed (DOA) 
Hello,

This may not be the correct forum for this question, but in hopes that it is, I 
have an HTML type question.

We are planning to replace our current listserv software with Mailman 2.x. Our 
root URL will not be changing, but each lists subscription pages will be 
different.

Example:http:/list.domain/lists/listname/jl.htm   

 http:/list.domain/mailman/listinfo/listname   


We would like some type of redirect in place on the new mailman server that 
would simply display the new link (so that it can be copied) when someone uses 
an old bookmark or hyperlink on a different website.

Our Mailman version is 2.1.20 from Yum, on CentOS 6.7, running Apache & Postfix 
& Mimedefang.

Note: I'm an HTML greenie, so any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thx, Ed
